In contrast to the countless number of buses, the tram tour not only allows you to get acquainted with the history of the city, but in itself is an unusual entertainment. Having searched the Internet for such a service in Moscow, we were able to find only two suitable offers. And then, only one of them was truly a tram.
Sightseeing tram 302 - BIS

The tram museum offers guests a journey through the era of the 20-30s of the beginning of the century. The route starts from the Bulgakov House. Further you can see the Garden-Aquarium, the Satire Theater, Tverskoy Boulevard, the Griboyedov House, Patriarch's Ponds, Margarita's mansion and many other places associated with the life and work of Bulgakov.

This tram has existed, judging by the articles on the Internet, since at least 2005. Then the interior of the inn on wheels was not very attractive and resembled a modest eatery on a provincial road. Now it is quite a decent, beautiful place, with neat waiters and a pleasant interior. During the trip, they tell love stories from the lives of famous people who once lived in Moscow. Live music is played in the carriage, poetic performances are performed.
Tram route A
Regular regular tram, which you can ride for the cost of a ticket in public transport in Moscow. The downside is that there is no guide and, possibly, it will be crowded during rush hours. Therefore, it is better to choose a time when there are not very many people.
wrote in November 25th, 2016A rather interesting, short excursion around Moscow can also be taken by tram. For example, along the route of tram A (as well as 3, 39) from metro Paveletskaya to metro Chistye Prudy.
The route runs along Novokuznetskaya street. Immediately on the left we see the mansion of P.A. Bachurina - I.E. Smirnov (st.Novokuznetskaya, 40). Initially, it was the mansion of P.A. Bachurina, who later passed to I.E. Smirnova. The left side of the mansion was built in 1890 according to the project of the architect S.V. Sherwood is the son of the famous creator of the Historical Museum building. The right side of the building was erected by the architect S.F. Voskresensky in 1913, who previously worked in the Art Nouveau style, but by the time he was working on Novokuznetskaya Street he had switched to neoclassicism. working time on Novokuznetskaya street, which switched to neoclassicism. 
Further (Novokuznetskaya street, 38) - 2. Pokrovsky Cathedral - the cathedral of the Russian Ancient Orthodox Church. After the proclamation of a manifesto on religious tolerance in 1905, active construction of new Old Believer churches began, including in Moscow. In 1908, in Zamoskvorechye, at the expense of F.E. Morozova, a plot of land was purchased, on which a church was laid on October 12 for the local Old Believer community. The building project was created by the architect V.P.Desyatov. The church was consecrated on September 26, 1910.

This is an example of the type of semi-stone residential building widespread in Russian architecture. This brick, originally one-storey house was built in the first half of the 19th century as an outbuilding in a large manor house. In 1875, the architect K.A.Kozmin added a wooden floor over the stone outbuilding for the new owner of the estate, merchant, hereditary honorary citizen Timofei Terentyevich Volkov. 
4. Practically opposite (to the right along the way) K.P. Bakhrushina (Novokuznetskaya st., 27/6, building 1).

In 1911, the son of S.G. Protopopov Nikolai sold the plot to Count Vladimir Sergeevich Tatishchev (1865 - 1928). The count immediately began to rebuild the house, for which he invited the architect Gustav Avgustovich Gelrich. He changed both the facade and the layout of the building, adding neoclassical features to the eclectic decoration of the building. 
7. Novokuznetskaya st., 12 - N.V.'s mansion Urusova. It was built in 1912 by order of Natalya Vasilievna Urusova, the author of the project was the architect (military engineer by training) Ivan Ivanovich Rerberg.

In 1900, Vakarin rebuilt the main house, turning it into a small mansion made in eclectic forms, with an original gable roof and elements of classical order decor on the facades.

Trubetskoy, he studied at the Copenhagen Cadet Corps, later traveled around Europe, where he became acquainted with the pedagogical theories of encyclopedists. Upon his return, he proposed to Catherine II the project of an Orphanage in Moscow for foundlings and homeless babies. The Foundling Home was established on September 1, 1763, and its foundation took place on April 21, 1764, on the birthday of Catherine II, on Vasilievsky meadow. The house was built from the stone of the dismantled fortress wall of the White City. The project envisaged the construction of two squares with courtyards, connected by a central building, called in the French way Cordelegues. The author of the project remains unknown so far, it is assumed from St. Petersburg resident Yu.M. Felten. From 1764 to 1767, the construction was supervised by the architect K.I.Blank, who also built the western square. Cordelozhi was built by architects invited by a major donor, P. A. Demidov.
